| Figure in billowing cloth for an Inhaler Advert.
| August 2004
|
A specially sculpted mannequin for WPPs' german pharmaceutical client of a woman enjoying the benefits of a new asthma product.
The mannequin had to have the scarf billowing in a breeze, and has small electric fans fitted inside the body to blow the scarf backwards to enhance the display and copy the packaging image. The figure is the centrepiece of a major promotion at trade fairs across Europe.
The cloth was supported on an irregular frame and the four very quiet fans hidden in the figure supplied the wind.

| The rising snake from the story The Speckled Band for the Sherlock Holmes museum, Baker St, London
| March 2000
|
The animatronic Speckled Band is a snake, triggered by an infra-red sensor, which rises as visitors approach.
Since the man is supposed to be dead I would have thought he should have been in a high backed armchair to support his head and arms, however the museum designers have the final say in these matters.
